Although skeptics believe that auto blogging has saturated, for the optimist there is still lot of money to be made from it. Most of the blogs would be “passive” and would need regular maintenance to keep the dollars ringing in each month. Although quite a good source as additional income, some people earn it as mainstream income almost making a living off it and there are people who are able to make a neat three thousand every month only through auto blogging. But of course, it is necessary to mention here that they would have built up an empire out of auto blogs with hundreds of blogs pooling in to give them the profit. But as the saying goes, every journey begins with a first step. These people too had started with single blogs, just like you and have made it to the top with consistent efforts and hard work.

Auto blogs are WordPress blogs that are designed to generate content using various sources and work on their own. Blogs are easy to set up but take a little time to get noticed. A little maintenance is required in terms of deleting improper content or fixing unformatted content. With each such updated content, your blog gets indexed amongst the top results in search engine listings, generating traffic and revenue for your site. Numerous ways can be used to promote your auto blogs to keep them in the top slot of search results.

To begin with, use a web host that supports MySQL, PHP, cURL with adequate space to host your first WordPress blog but has the ability to expand as you decide to host more blogs of your own in the future. Next you can download relevant software from WordPress.org or Fantastico or cPanel, if they have been installed by your web host. The additional plugins required would be WP-O-Matic, Platinum SEO Pack and Google XML Sitemaps. WP-O-Matic is a free plugin and also the main ingredient for any auto-blogging. Its main function is to generate content for the blog all round the clock. Platinum SEO Pack contains all tools required to optimize the blog for use by the search engines. Google XML Sitemaps generate and update the sitemap of your blog, including submission to Google. This is particularly good for the purpose of SEO. Once the plugins are downloaded, upload and activate them in to your blog.

You could also use hired help to do most of the work for you.
